What would you do if you had a ridiculous amount of money to spend? Well, one particular man's response has gone viral for his unabashed honesty.?
A man, only identified as "James", was interviewed in Louisiana ahead of the Powerball jackpot in the US, and asked how he would spend the nearly $700 million prize. The answer, blunt as it was, wasn't something the reporter expected.?
¡°Well, I¡¯m definitely going to get a new supercharged Mustang with dual exhaust and about 5 kilos of cocaine,¡± and I¡¯ll be good to go,¡± James told KSLA TV.
To the reporter's credit, she didn't flinch when faced with the man's extraordinary response.??
Without missing a beat, the reporter said ¡°OK, so you like cars?¡±??
She turned back to the camera smiling, James confirmed that he does like cars and they wrapped up the segment relatively smoothly.?
Unfortunately (or not), the man did not end up winning the money, as the winner was reportedly a California resident.
Nevertheless, his exchange with the journalist earned him 15 seconds of viral fame, with social media users praising the way the journalist handled the conversation.?
Fair play, that was a tricky situation to handle on live TV.??
